Grandpa was one of the most generous, funny, and intelligent men I have had the pleasure of knowing. I love how unfiltered his thoughts were - so refreshing to see who the real person with that mind was. I love him and miss him!

I know I am not unique in this sentiment, but Tom Saaty changed my life and I love him for it.

Dr. Saaty was such a engaging and kind-hearted man. I was a fan of his work and a curious student of AHP. On a random encounter, he spent quite a bit of time to help me, which I was in awe of given his status. He even went so far to introduced me to his loving family, who went on to help my exploration of multi-criteria decision-making in immeasurable ways (ironically). He will be missed, but his legacy is evident and felt for a long, long time.

I met Tom by accident about ten years ago, and got to know him pretty well. I was honored to be chosen by him as a judge of the projects done by students in his creativity classes. What a nice man. What a brilliant man. What an easy man to love. I endorse every one of the positive comments previous to this one.

Tom was a great mentor and a fatherly-figure to me. Not only was he incredibly brilliant but also he was inspirational and caring. Having an opportunity to work for him was an honor. His eyes lit up when he thought of an idea and he was always on the go. I was his research assistant over 15 years but I still vividly remember his energy, creativity, and determination. His work attracted students, scholars, and practitioners from all over the world and his legacy will continue to be with us. Tom, we love you and miss you so much!
